Silly Stories for the Whole Family

My co-workers and I are all making lists of great books for ages that correspond with our storytime (babies, 1s, 2s, 3s & 4s ) However, my storytime is a family storytime aimed at ages 2-6 with their family. So here's the booklist I made:

One day, a group of frogs discover a little pink pig in their pond. All the pig will say is "Ribbit!" The frogs are confused so they go to the wise old beetle for help.
